July was a super stressful month on the home front. My mom had a major surgery, and I spent a bunch of time rushing back and forth between the hospital, on the phone trying to coordinate care for her, and trying to meet her needs while still working […]
I finished June with 20 ARCs left to be read. Devoting time to ARCs is now becoming a habit each month, and while I’m still getting approved for a bunch, I’m finding myself requesting less (but not fully on a requesting ban). It’s very heartening to see progress […]
I finished April with 30 ARCs left to be read. In May, I got approved for 10 new ARCs, bringing my total to 40. It got out of control, and I started feeling super stressed about it. So instead of getting overwhelmed, I devoted some serious time to […]
I finished March with 21 ARCs left to be read. In April, I got approved for a whopping 18 new ARCs! Despite focusing heavily on reading ARCs this month, I naturally fell a little behind my intended schedule of reviewing books the month before they’re published. I managed […]
I finished January with 18 ARCs left to be read. In February, I got approved for 11 new ARCs, and I can’t wait to read them all! Fortunately, I got a bunch of ARCs that I’m super thrilled about. I’ve been mindful of the due dates, and have […]
I finished November with 9 ARCs left to be read. In December, I got approved for 6 new ARCs, and I was thrilled about it (as usual). I didn’t get to spend as much time focusing on ARCs as I wanted to, since I was focused on the […]
I finished October with 10 ARCs left to be read. I got approved for 4 new ARCs in October. This month I stayed on top of reading books before they came out, and I was super proud of that, and actually managed to read some of my November […]
May was a great month for ARC progress for me. I finally managed to get my ratio above 80% and keep it there! I am a little behind on reading and reviewing ARCs before they are released, but I’m planning to focus on that in June. Since this […]
The months have been going by quickly, but April felt like it went by fastest out of all of them. This was an incredible reading month for me, and I enjoyed a lot of the books I read. The weather is getting warmer here in New York, and […]
I’ve actually made some progress on my ARCs since I posted this for the first time last month. After reading and reviewing 6 ARCs, my current ratio is at 79%. I made it to 80%, but immediately got approved for one, putting me back under the magic number. […]
